Four Swords Anniversary Released In North America

We just reported on the release of Four Swords Anniversary in Australia and Europe, but we now have confirmation that it is now available in North America as well. Some of the staff have already downloaded the game through the Nintendo E-Shop and will be sharing our opinions on the release soon. Head on past the break to hear what I think about the new release.

I personally owned a copy of A Link to the Past / Four Swords for the Gameboy Advance, but since nobody seemed to have link cables (or copies of the game), I was unable to explore the multiplayer-only experience until today. I have progressed through the training areas on my 3DS, and so far the game feels like it has great potential. Much like Four Swords Adventures, Four Swords Anniversary allows the player to toggle between the primary Link and a secondary Link using the L and R buttons. The player can choose which color represents the secondary Link when they start the game. Overall this is a must download for your 3DS or DSi system for two reasons. First, it’s currently free, and second it’s another Zelda game for portables. Four Swords Anniversary marks the 7th Zelda game playable on the 3DS*, and the 3rd playable on DSi.
